Exactly my experience. Can reproduce but only holding the phone in a way that inhibits my ability to use the phone one handed so why would I?

“The free bumpers will come at some point for those that really want them (I don't, but I'll take one if it's free!). Apple can't continue to turn a blind eye to it forever and continue to come across as arrogant, like they currently do. A slightly more humble approach from Apple would have helped this pr nightmare go away by now. I'm sure this over long silence from Apple means they are beavering away hard on coming up with something. We should all know how secretive they are with everything they do, be it a new product or a potential fix.
The time will come soon when we finally get to hear what Apple truly have to day on the matter other than rumoured emails and leaked helpline scripts.”
It would be commercial suicide for apple to keep glossing over the issue. Enough people are spitting their dummies out and making a fuss over it to potentially cause Apple serious harm in the future (half of whom probably have never laid eyes on an iPhone 4 in the flesh). Be the fix free bumpers, a coating applied to the metal band, a swap or something else.
I'll probably take anything apple offer as its free. A bumper may well just go in my drawer as I don't like the look of them... they seem to go better with the as yet elusive white model. I wont be too bothered if Apple do nothing though. The phone is a gorgeous piece of kit and if you haven't already done so, try looking at a 3GS's display after a few days of using retina. It looks so pants its untrue. A fault that only exists when I hold my phone in a way I never would as it prevents one handed operation of the phone isn't going to ruin my enjoyment of an otherwise excellent product
